Cleveland, Ohio - peer review

Seeing that you are interested in getting this article to FA, I have decided to help with some clean up and copyediting (I left some comments on peer review). If you have any more questions, feel free to ask (as a side note, I got Ann Arbor, Michigan, featured and I am in the process of doing the same to Boston, Massachusetts).

Sandy, thanks for your support on the Cleveland peer review -- I've nominated it for FA, hopefully I didn't screw it up too badly! I'll keep you up to speed. Thanks again -- PacknCanes 20:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

not so helpless newbie wants help

Greetings,

My first contirbution the Cosmic ray defelction society at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_deflection_society and two related links for valloween and Dysonburg Confusion Principle are getting a real beating at the delete page and I could use some help getting the page into compliance.

Any suggestions would be helpful, and a note in the deletion section saying that you think the entry is salvagible, if you think it is would be helpful.

I went to the Sub Genius page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub_Genius and wonder how our page is differant than theirs...

Thanks for your time,

also aswell

PS is there any way to use all lower case in a name as that is the way I spell my name.

Thanks for great pointers...

Thanks for the help at the cosmic ray pages. I did a quick edit using some of your ideas, will empliment more later. But I need to get back to my SBA forms and my recovery/startup business plan as I have an appointment Monday with SCORE advisor on them. I notice you do "management." Any chance you care to review my business plan?

Re: your message on my birthday

Thank you for the nice message on my birthday. Your contributions are equally appreciated. :) Acetic'^Acid 06:12, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Congrats!!

On your 1000th edit! Redwolf24 (talk) 18:48, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the Scenic Vista

Ultimately, Wikipedia is where I destress regardless of whatever pictures are there, but thanks for the consideration.

It seems like you're of one like mind with me, so I'm wondering if you've noticed the differences between "Meta-Wikipedians" (Those who focus on the Internal Workings and Social Side of Wikipedia, like WP:UP, WP:TP, WP:BS, WP:AFD, WP:RFA and WP:RFAr among others) and "Exo-Wikipedians" (Those who focus on Articles, Article Related Tasks, Technical Stuff, and the like...)

I'm closer to a Meta-Wikipedian myself, and I wondering if a few of us should start a Wikiproject, similiar to the Deletionists or the Inclusionists. Karmafist 02:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh Yeah, One More Thing

Get another few hundred edits! I want to nominate you for Adminship! I think you're ready now to be an admin, but it's probably unwise for anybody, regardless of how good they are, to go up for adminship before at least 1,500. It's an uphill battle that just isn't worth fighting. Karmafist 02:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Would you be interested in joining WikiProject Business and Economics?. Thanks. --Pamri • Talk 06:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, anytime. You are one of the kindest wikipedians I have ever met. Have you ever considered adding an Esperanza "e" into your signature? Anyway, its a pleasure. See you around! Cheers Banes 10:48, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Do you want to be listed as a clueless newbie!?:-) No, seriously, I asked Redwolf24 the same question about three weeks ago. What you do is, if you want your sig to be darkblue, like mine, Roberts, and Redwolf24....

Special:Preferences->Raw Signatures on->Type in the box [[User:Mamawrites|Mamawrites]] ^{[[WP:ESP|<font color="green">Esperanza</font>]]} Which becomes:

Mamawrites ^Esperanza

Or you can do it this way: [[User:Mamawrites|<font color="darkblue">Mamawrit</font>]][[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<font color="green">e</font>]][[User:Mamawrites|<font color="darkblue">s</font>]]

Which becomes:

Mamawrites

You can also bold or italicize the "e" or the whole signature as I have done to mine. Typing in on both sides of the letter makes it italicized, and typing in ' on both sides makes it bold. This becomes Mamawrites. Its up to you. Cheerio! Banes 16:52, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I like the second one better, and I added a little bit. This is a test: Mamawrites ^{& listens} Yay, it works, finally!

Your signature looks great now. I find playing around with it is always a good idea. I think I might even pursue the green es myself, as its more esperanza like. Regards Banes 05:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

from Alkiviadis

Hi, I am also uploading or translating articles on wikipedia in greek but I have to sign in there as well (fortunately I got the same user name). Isn't the user name common for all languages? I remember a couple of years ago it used to be. Since then though it has changed a lot. Thanks for the award.

How can I edit my user page?

Hello again, I tried to edit my user page but I could not even view it. Could you advise me on this one? I thank you in advance.

Thanks, Alkiviadis

I see. Ed Poor seems to be under great stress, indeed. Perhaps you could help/direct me on the matter? :/ ? --FlavrSavr 11:17, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for the congratulatory message and most importantly, all those balloons. I love balloons. @_@ Acetic'^Acid 21:23, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your vote of confidence in the Esperanza elections and also for the congratulatory balloons! I look forward to helping Esperanza and Wikipedia progress. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 21:45, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, thank you very much. Ditto for the rest :). Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 03:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Religious Pluralism - Article Improvement Drive

Hi Mamawrites,

I wanted to inform you that we have worked out a new outline for Religious_pluralism, which you support for the Wikipedia:Article Improvement Drive; you are invited to take a look at that new structure, propose changes and participate in implementing it. Your expert knowledge on religion would be most welcome. --Robin.rueth 13:33, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Another thing I wanted to ask you concerning that page - being a relative newbie: I'm arguing with User:squideshi on what to put into the Christianity section of Religious Pluralism, and somehow our arguments just go in circles. What would be the best thing to do in this situation? --Robin.rueth 13:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Gracias

Salve, Mamawrites!
Thanks for your kind note. I've been in a bit of a funk lately after some bad experiences with my FAC debates. I'm surprised that anyone noticed. So your good wishes are appreciated. I've done a number of articles on our state. See my list at User:PedanticallySpeaking/Articles. Do let me know if I can help with something you're working on. PedanticallySpeaking 13:54, 21 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. Is "esperanza" the Spanish for "hope"?

Hi there. The problem with the article was that the anonymous editor kept introducing very biased content in it (like I pointed out on the talk page). I was just trying to NPOVise that a bit, and the IP obviously didn't like that and started throwing personal attacks at me. Now, since I wasn't actually introducing any new content, it would have been a bit difficult for me to invoke WP:CITE, wouldn't it? :)

The IP seems to have calmed down now, so I don't think there'll be much more trouble with that article. (And I admit that the article is not perfect right now, but I don't actually know anything about the subject other than what the IP has written there so I'm not very well positioned to fix it.) - ulayiti (talk) 16:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, that wasn't actually my content either - I merged it in from an earlier version of the article written by another anonymous IP. - ulayiti (talk) 10:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Marine Corps Air Station Futenma

You're NOT looking very hard...

• There are 237

Try going to Google News and putting in the word "FUTENMA". WikiDon 17:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

No, no, regular Yahoo! and Google, etc., are no good for breaking news. Updates to the search engine can take weeks. They either have to be done manually or verified manually by a human. Lets say you update the Marine Corps website that you are going to build a new base. The Marine Corps PR person has to either contact Yahoo! or Google, etc., to update this when a search is performed, or a computer or person at a search engine has to find the info and key it to a search. If a computer finds it, it offen has to be verified by a human. Someone has to tage "Marine Corps" to "new base", so when you search it can find it. If the random server does it, it may be wrong, and you get garbage hits. Corporations, that really want to sell something, pro-actively contact the search engines to get them to update the search ques.

Try this, write a brand new article on Wikipedia, and see how long it takes to get in a seach at Google or Yahoo! WikiDon 18:06, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
